David Lidington: We have left the EU and there is no turning back. Here’s what our new relationship with Europe should look like.

Ryan Henson and James Rogers: The reformed Foreign Office has a fresh chance to counter China and Russia

Sunder Katwala: Gandhi does not quite fit the bill of recognising ethnic minority Britons on our currency

He may have been one of the greatest figures to shape the 20th century, but a simplistic deification risks losing the complexity of the man.

By Sunder Katwala | 4 August 2020 | 63 comments

Raghib Ali: Systemic classism, not racism. Why the main factor in health and educational inequalities is deprivation, not race.

By Dr Raghib Ali | 21 July 2020 | 15 comments

By Andrew Gimson | 19 June 2020 | 80 comments

Slave Lives Matter. The anti-slavery campaign that every Conservative should join.

Building on May’s legacy will mean grinding, attritional work – which the hard left and extremist parties are neither interested in nor capable of doing.

By Paul Goodman | 11 June 2020 | 97 comments

David Goodhart: The virus. It’s almost certain that ethnic minorities are at greater risk. But we can’t yet know the full explanation.

There are three main factors at work – genetics, plus cultural and social factors. And it’s not possible at present to disentangle the mix.
